About Glenn Fricker

Greetings, I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. Featuring tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, and plugin effects. Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on my channel! I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs. Thanks for reading!

Total Heavy Guitar

After two years in development, TOTAL HEAVY GUITAR is finally available for purchase! It's the most comprehensive lesson on the subject of recording metal guitars out there! This is NOT a lesson on tweaking amp sims... this will teach you to master the art of miking a live amp and cabinet.
